Abstract: A novel multiple channel architecture (265) is designed to allow targeted advertising directed to television terminals (220) connected to an operations center (202) or a cable headend (208). Program channels carry television programs. The invention uses upstream data reception hardware (262, 275, 297), databases (301) and processing hardware (285, 293) and software to accomplish these functions. During commercial breaks in the television programs, advertisements, which are also broadcast on the program channel, are displayed. However, additional feeder channels carry alternate advertising that may be better suited for certain viewing audiences. The operations center (202) or the cable headend (208) generate a group assignment plan (293, 299) that assigns the television terminals (220) to groups, based on factors such as area of dominant influence and household income. A switching plan (291) is then generated that instructs the television terminals (220) to remain with the program channel or to switch to one of the altemate feeder channels during the program breaks. The television terminals (220) record which channels were viewed during the program breaks, and report this information to the cable headend (208) and the operations center (202). The reported information is used to generate billing for commercial advertisers, and to analyze viewer watching habits.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a network element for determining cell-based values of a parameter of a selected active uplink transport channel multiplexed with other transport channels to a dedicated physical channel. It is proposed that a value for the parameter of the selected uplink transport channel is computed in predetermined periods of time based on the value of at least one available parameter associated to the dedicated physical channel. Further it is determined for the predetermined periods of time for each of the transport channels whether it is active in the respective period of time. Those periods of time for which it was determined that any other than the selected transport channel was active are excluded from supplying a relevant value for the parameter of the selected active uplink transport channel. The invention equally relates to a corresponding communications network and a corresponding communications system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel device for electrolytic disinfection of drinking water, service water and waste water using anodically generated disinfectants. The cathodic formation of hydrogen is prevented by using gas diffusion electrodes as the cathode. Atmospheric oxygen is reduced to hydroxyl ions and/or hydrogen peroxide at the gas diffusion electrodes. A permanent anode can be positioned between two gas diffusion electrodes. The latter then function alternately as a cathode or a second anode. This polarity change enables the removal of the deposits containing metal ions that form during the cathodic reaction from the gas diffusion electrodes. The substances with the disinfecting effect are produced through the use of different electrode materials for the anode and the diffusion electrode either at both anodes or at the anode and cathode.

Abstract: A method of controlling the production of filler-containing paper. Filler and retention agent are delivered to a paper manufacturing system in a process of paper manufacture. The amount of filler in the paper is measured, as is also the filler concentration or the total concentration in the white water or the stock. Filler is delivered such that the system will be buffered with filler to a generally pre-determined concentration level. The continual addition of retention agent is based exclusively on the amount of filler in the paper measured at that moment in time. When the measured amount of filler present is lower than a desired level, the addition is increased. When the measured amount of filler present is higher than a desired level, the addition is reduced. The continual addition of filler is based, exclusively on the concentration level of filler measured in the white water or the stock.

Abstract: An empty bag supplying apparatus used in a continuous conveying type bag-filling packaging machine in which the empty bag supplying apparatus receives empty bags (W) and transfers these empty bags (W) to gripper pairs (1) of the bag-filling packaging machine that are moved continuously at a constant speed. The empty bag supplying apparatus includes down-ward-facing bag holding members (10, 11) and a reciprocating movement mechanism. The bag holding members hold the upper portions of bags. The reciprocating movement mechanism causes the bag holding members (10,11) to reciprocate along an arc-shaped path and keeps the empty bags (W) held by the holding members to be parallel to the direction of movement of the gripper pairs (1) during the reciprocating motion. In a bag transfer region established in the arc-shaped path, the speed of the bag holding members (10,11) holding the empty bags (W) is equal to moving speed of the gripper pairs (1).   <IMAGE>
